Introduction to Z Image Turbo Image to Image

Z Image Turbo Image to Image is a high-speed transformation engine designed to remix, restyle, or refine existing images instantly. Unlike starting from a blank canvas, this tool uses your uploaded image as a foundation and modifies it based on your text prompt and the "Strength" parameter. Powered by the Turbo architecture, it performs these transformations in just a few inference steps (1-8), making it the ideal tool for rapid visual iteration, style transfer, and generating variations of a concept in real-time.

Key Capabilities

  • Visual Remixing: Upload any image to serve as the composition, color, and structural guide for your new generation.
  • Precision Transformation Control: Use the Strength slider (Denoising Strength) to dictate the balance between the original image and the new text prompt. Low values keep it similar; high values create something new.
  • Turbo Speed Iteration: Optimized to produce high-quality results in only 4-8 steps, allowing for near-instant A/B testing of different prompts on the same image.
  • Magic Prompt Expansion: Automatically enhances simple prompts with descriptive details using enable_prompt_expansion, useful when you want to restyle an image but lack a detailed description.

Example Inputs

  • Sketch to Reality:

- Input: A rough black and white drawing.

- Prompt: "Hyper-realistic product photo, 8k resolution."

- Strength: 0.75 (Allows the model to fill in details while ignoring sketch imperfections).

  • Style Transfer:

- Input: A real photo of a street.

- Prompt: "Oil painting style, thick brushstrokes, van gogh."

- Strength: 0.6 (Keeps the street layout but changes the texture).

  • Variation Generation:

- Input: A generated character.

- Prompt: "Same character, wearing a red suit instead of blue."

- Strength: 0.65.


Pro Tips

  • The "Strength" Sweet Spot: The default is 0.6. If your image isn't changing enough, increase it to 0.75. If the image looks nothing like your input, lower it to 0.45.
  • Aspect Ratio Cropping: If your input image is Landscape but you select Portrait in image_size, the model will crop and regenerate the edges to fit. Set to auto or match the input ratio to avoid cropping.
  • Seed Consistency: To test how different Strength levels affect the same image, keep the Seed fixed and only adjust the slider.

Related Tools

  • To create images from scratch without an input file, use Z Image Turbo Text to Image.
  • For strict structural control (edges/depth) rather than general blending, use Z Image Turbo ControlNet.
